Re: Smelling cigarette smoke

This could be caused by a sinus issue from your recent infection. My dad had a horrible smell in his nose (no one else could smell it) and it turned out it was a sinus infection.
BUT the fact yours isn't constant would suggest it's something in your environment.
The sort of smells that are worrying tend to be overpowering, come and go very quickly (e.g. under 5 minutes) and are associated with other symptoms...
Good luck
